Does anyone know what make of board this is?

First things first ignore the big brand name sticker on the bottom! I put it on to cover a tiny crack. Think it looks pretty smart though :D

I bought this foamie off a guy in Gloucester when I was heading home from surfing in Wales. He hardly used it - just been stuck in his garage. It’s a compact foam (not like the really cheap brands) with further reinforced rails as shown. I can just see the markings for two stringers inside and it’s got quite a bit of rocker on it compared to many other foamies.
The fins look pretty cheap- not like my old INT board with metal bolts. These have the cheaper plastic ones (which I posted about recently as it had one missing) But over all I thought it seemed pretty decent.

Anyway I got him down to £50 as I thought it’d be good to have on a small day for myself or some mates who don’t really surf as it does seem like the type of foamie that’ll last some years I hope.

The only thing that bugs me is that I can’t for the life of me find any markings of a brand on it or when I describe it on google I can’t find any similar images. It’s not a big deal but it just would be nice to know.

So back to my question - Does anyone have some idea on what brand this may be? Maybe they went bust or it’s just some obscure Chinese company. I don’t know- either way I guess the proofs in the surfing so I’m gonna get a weekend down in Cornwall end of the month to try it out :surfing:

If you do know something on it any ideas would be appreciated. Many thanks :thumbs:

That board is like a cop when he takes off his badge and number, no way of identifying. A good price, yes good ride hope so!
So the board is aTryitansea foamy! :woot:

There is no "make" or name brand of the board because it's a OEM manufactuer in China. You buy a minimum order of say 50 pcs. provide your logo and they'll stamp it on. Yours might be a sample sold to a prospective dealer / retailer in your area or a rep sample.

The only boards I’ve seen with no marks at all are on alibaba

Thanks guys- it definitely looks like that Alibaba company going by the pic. Glad there’s nothing written on it anyway- it stands out enough as it is!

I’m sure it’s not the best out there but hopefully we’ll still have some fun with it- Cheers again :thumbs:
